I'm still in the hospital from Monday. All my surgery mates went home yesterday. I'm struggling trying to pass gas and forget about pooping. I've been walking the halls like a mad women and drinking warm. Nothing seems to work. Any tips or tricks out there? Last night I got a fever of 100.2 they have me swallow Tylenol. That was awful because the pills got stuck. I got a sinus infection too so they started me on antibiotics by mouth yesterday. It's been not so great so far. I'm blessed that things haven't been worse. I really want to pass this gas!

have you tried the gas x strips? i did everything i could think of and just couldnt pass the gas. it finally subsided after 2 weeks. that was the worst part of my recovery, its been smooth sailing since then

Hang in there "This too shall pass"

When you aren't walking, sit in a rocker or glider chair. Lean forward with your arms crossed across your belly and rock/glide. This kind of motion is really good for getting gas moving and out.

If your room doesn't have a rocker or glider, ask your hospital if they have one they can move in.

Oh Good luck! I hope your fever stays down and they can send you home ASAP! Remember, right it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words
